First of all, take at look at figure 1 in your study genius, it doesn’t say what you think it does. Secondly, you brought up the Bronze Age, what’s funny is the average modern Greek is only 31% mycenaean genetically. Is that your standard of “significantly like their ancestors”?

And the MENA admixture was already addressed. That's why on the PCA chart I linked to Greeks are slightly closer in genetic distance to modern MENA populations now compared to other European peoples.

Greeks have always had higher admixture with Anatolians and other Arabic peoples. Like this pca shows. https://thuletide.files.wordpress.com/2023/07/pca-west-eurasia.jpg?w=953

What’s funny is you came barging in, proved yourself wrong, and did so spectacularly!

I didn't "bring up the Bronze Age" the Bronze Age era was already in question since we're talking about ancient Greece, which starts in the Bronze Age.

Greeks have always had higher admixture with Anatolians and other Arabic peoples. Like this pca shows

I already stated they have MENA admixture. This was never denied. Why are you stating my OWN argument at me like its a "gotcha"?

And Anatolians aren't an Arab people. Anatolian in that study doesn't mean what you think it means.That PCA chart is showing the ancient genetic lineage of modern Greeks and their distance from those ancestors. In actual fact, Ii doesn't mean what YOU think it means. Again, nothing to do with Arabs in this case.

I will restate your own argument verbatim:

the reality that they modern Greeks don’t have much genetically in common with ancient Greeks

In actual reality, stated plain as day:

Modern Greeks resemble the Mycenaeans, but with some additional dilution of the early Neolithic ancestry

QED. Take the L and move on. I'm done with you.
